  1. Define Scope and Objectives Key Components: Battery models, inverters, electric motors, and other drivetrain components. Purpose: Enable simulation, analysis, and development of ML models for drivetrain systems. Features: Physical models (e.g., electrochemical models for batteries, thermal models for motors). Integration with ML frameworks like TensorFlow or PyTorch. Modular design to allow easy customization and addition of new components.

  2. Research Existing Frameworks Study libraries like PyBamm, Simscape, and OpenModelica to understand their features, strengths, and limitations. Identify gaps or unique features your library will offer, such as ML integration or component interoperability.

  3. Design Software Architecture Use modular and object-oriented design principles. Ensure components are independent but interoperable.
